EDINBURGH, Scotland — Joseph Sua'ali'i, the new star of Australian rugby, has been forced off the field because of an injury after a half-hour of the test match against Scotland. Sua'ali'i hurt his right arm tackling Sione Tuipulotu as the Scotland captain attempted to power through Australia's defensive line. Sua'ali'i received treatment but soon walked off the field at Murrayfield. The 21-year-old Sua'ali'i switched codes from rugby league last month and was making his second start for the Wallabies. His debut was impressive in the 42-37 win at England two weeks ago.
